A:AnswerHi there - Great question! The cardboard (mica) covers the waveguide system that feeds microwave energy into the cavity and should not be removed. The microwave should not be used for any function if this cardboard cover is not in place. If removed, it would require service to replace. Thanks for asking! -Mikayla
A:AnswerHi Karen, I am happy to help. You can choose the number of minutes and seconds you want your unit to cook by pressing the "time cook" pad. I hope this helps. Thank you for checking with us. Lisa from GE Appliances.
A:AnswerNo, there is a film and a standard grid, but all microwaves need them. The light should be easy to replace, I plan on finding a high power LED replacement for mine. Just like I have done on all of my cars.
A:AnswerSorry, don't know, but the staff at Best Buy is very professional and patient and they were a good source for my questions. They can probably answer on-line also if you can't get there.
A:AnswerI agree with the OP. Over 95% of the time I do not use the Express Cook feature. It's an extra step I don't need and pressing a single button every time you cook is going to wear that but out before all of the others. My last Panasonic microwave did not have the Express cook feature but after 14 years the start button went bad. I can repair it but being disabled with widespread pain issues I'm not sure that I want to expend the energy a 14-year-old unit.
